II Part 1. List the six characteristics of self-directed learners. Which two could you apply to your everyday learning and study behaviors to become a more independent learner? Explain. There are six characteristics to being a self-directed learner. On page 145 of "Academic Transformation", it defines the self-directed learner as "one who sets clear goals for the knowledge and skills one wants to acquire in a course." A self-directed learner has the ability to set and choose their goals in academics, use appropriate methods of learning, motivate themselves to learn something new, not only learn more than what is required but understand it, learn actively and prefer to relate personal experiences to what they learn. Of these six characteristics, the two I could incorporate into my learning and study time would be to learn actively and to use a variety of learning strategies. By learning with a variety of learning strategies, it allows different methods to comprehend materiel, take notes and review what I have learned. For instance, there are many different ways to take notes. Using the correct note-taking strategy for a class is crucial. In my music class I would use the Cornell Note-Taking System. It is the method of dividing notes into three sections, the note-taking section, the cue column and the summary area. It proves to be the most effective method in learning the different composers and definitions. For a math class I would use the T-Notes strategy. This strategy includes dividing your notes into three sections also. First, I would draw a large "T" on the paper. On top of the "T" is the main idea or formula. On the left side for example would be the math problem, on the right side, the method to solving the problem. So in using different learning strategies, my note-taking skills are enhanced to better understand and review the material. The second characteristic I could apply to my learning and study time is to learn actively. The less active a student is, the less they will learn. Passive learning is a fine way to misuse valuable study time. The more hands-on approach I can take to learning something new, the more information I am likely to preserve it. Learning actively is as simple as getting involved to what I learn. The more I can understand what I am learning, the more I can retain. If a hands-on approach is not available, it can be as simple as walking around the room while I read. It is just a matter of avoiding being passive. The more I can do from sitting still the better. Between the two characteristics used effectively, I would be able to increase my ability to retain knowledge and understand it more effectively. Part I 1. Describe and discuss the characteristics of the Dual-Store Model in terms of its capacity, duration, and storage mode. The Dual-Store Model is in direct correlation with the human brain. We have a sensory register, a working memory and a long-term memory. Things we can hear and taste, see, smell and touch are constantly being introduced into our sensory register. Whether or not we need the information is either lost or it transfers over to our working memory. This is the stage where we decide what sense it is and whether it is recognizable or not. Whether or not it is recognizable comes from our long-term memory. It is similar to the system of checks and balances; one cannot function without the other. All three work in sync to perform our daily tasks efficiently. Our brain has an infinite amount of capacity to store numbers, names, pictures or any kind of information. This is why we can remember important past memories. The cause for losing the information is from not using it habitually. If we took all of our current knowledge and cut off all of our senses from the outside world, our thoughts would travel around in circles until we inexorably lost all of our prior knowledge. The brains memory system is formed from billions of Neuron cells. The neuron network is comparable to a highway. One neuron can be connected to as many as ten thousand other neurons. So a neuron is like a highway connected to other roads, information travels among these roads to form thoughts. The less we use these roads, the less they become necessary so they inevitably break. On the contrary, the more we use the roads, the more roads that are formed. The brain is also comparable to a muscle, the more we exercise it, the better it performs. The duration of the roads lasts as long as we use the information regularly. The storage mode is unlimited so long as we exercise our brains adequately and frequently. So the Dual-Store Model is a never ending cycle of roads and highways breaking and forming new paths to make learning and containing what we learn easier. Part I 2. Describe and discuss the stages of self-regulatory ability. Provide examples of what happens at each stage. There are four stages of self-regulatory ability, Chaos, Stability, Flexibility and Mastery. The most stage advanced is Mastery. Having Mastery selfregulation ability by definition is "when the principles and the adjustments take place automatically and unconsciously." (Academic Transformer pg. 228) But what does this mean and what are the characteristics of Mastery? In the complete opposite of Chaos, all of the things we are required to do as a person and academically are balanced harmoniously. It is also having the ability to smoothly change their schedule without complexity. It comes natural to balance their academics, personal life and homeostasis. There is no friction in day to day rituals. If something comes up unexpectedly, the person has an alternate way to maintain this harmony. In contrary, Chaos is the first stage to attaining any order. It is having no self direction or grasp on the world around you. It is like being tossed in the ocean. The person is tossed by the waves with no ability to swim in any direction. The first step to reaching the next stage is to seek help. Whether the help be academically, psychologically or in any way, it is almost a necessity to have an outside hand assist to regain structure. Once a form of structure has been attained, the next stage can be attained. Stability in no way is a safe place to be but it is healthier than chaos. In the stage of Stability, the person has learned the basics of swimming. They are no longer being tossed around in the waves but rather able to keep their head above water. In this stage the person has gained a slight grasp of the world around them. They can effectively maintain their academics, personal life and homeostasis but with much effort. Following a specific guideline is generally how students maintain stability. In all actuality however, the slightest tremor could send them back into Chaos. Once stability has been mastered, the next stage can be achieved. From Stability, a person reaches Flexibility. Flexibility is much similar to Stability in exception that the person can now effectively manage their academics and personal life without digressing. The swimmer can now not only swim in the waves, but has different methods of swimming. If the sidestroke is inadequate, they can smoothly switch to the dog paddle. Regardless of structure and litheness, a tidal wave can still sink the swimmer back into Chaos. Once Flexibility comes naturally, the final stage of Mastery can be accomplished. It is here that the swimmer glides instead of swims. They can now overcome tidal waves or a crisis and maintain their buoyancy in their academics and personal perspectives. Part I 3. Describe and discuss the Stress Reaction Model. In your discussion, illustrate the concept by going through the steps using a stressful event (not one mentioned in the book), the individual's perception, and then subsequent reactions. The Stress Reaction Model in simple is three items adjoined together equaling a reaction which then forks into three paths that could be taken. Out of the three paths, only one is appropriate. You can either Fight or Flight the stress which ironically in turn causes more stress. Fighting leads to irritation and bad temper. To Flight the stress leads to worry and procrastination. Or you can choose to Manage the stress which is the most desired path to take when presented with a stressful event. For example, as a showman of goats for ten years, there are many factors that could cause a stressful event. For example, one of my high quality show animals died and caused many dilemmas in reaching a successful year. The first perception of this catastrophic event was to Fight it. I became angry when my other animals would not perform the way I desired. I would become very frustrated and inevitably not perform well myself as a showman. In frustration soon followed avoidance. I would get so frustrated I would not even want to go tend to my animals. Negative thoughts filled my mind and made it even harder to do my job. I would procrastinate about working my animals. When it finally came to a short amount of time until my major show, I realized that I was not getting anywhere by trying to Fight or to Flight stress. I realized for me to be successful, I had to work diligently in order to grow a fine show animal like I had before. When I was finally able to push aside all the other negative aspects of the stressful event, I was able to manage that stress and perform like an experienced showman should. In order to be successful, I had to work through difficult episodes to reach a specific goal. After several months of hard work and self motivation, I achieved Reserve Grand Champion Market Goat in 2004 and again in 2005. So when a person can manage stress effectively, it can be a healthy motivation tool to work towards their goals. To Fight or Flight stress only causes more stress and leads you away from reaching your goal. It is only until you can resolve your conflict and use the stress to your advantage will you be successful.
